Kyocera’s Company History, and Why 1959 Still Shows Up in a Print Bill

Kyocera started in Kyoto in 1959 as Kyoto Ceramic Company, making fine ceramic parts for the electronics industry, and that is not trivia, because the ceramics work is the reason its printers use an amorphous silicon drum instead of a plastic one.

The drum is the part that wears.

A harder drum surface lasts longer, which is why Kyocera rates its long life parts in hundreds of thousands of pages rather than tens of thousands.

This article explores Kyocera Company Origin, and what that history still means for the cost of running one of its machines.

From ceramics to printers, and where ECOSYS came from

Kyocera moved into printers decades later.

The ceramics knowledge came with it.

ECOSYS, the name on the long life range, stands for economy, ecology and system solutions.

Today those document solutions reach Australian businesses through flexible Kyocera printer leasing plans.

For an office the practical effect is fewer consumables to buy and fewer parts to replace across a lease term.

    I would like to express my thanks for the excellent service I received from the service technician who resolved my jammed printer. His persistence and expertise resulted in the discovery of a tiny piece of torn paper that eluded discovery for nearly 30mins. This caused the printer to constantly trigger a jam error. The cost of the service was well worth the result. Many thanks, Anthony Torrens.
    Response from the owner:Hi Anthony, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that our technician was able to track down the tiny piece of paper causing the jam. Sometimes it's the smallest things that create the biggest headaches, and we're pleased their persistence and attention to detail got your printer back up and running. We really appreciate your kind words and your support of our business. If we can ever assist you again, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
